My summer is getting booked up. I heard recently that I will be speaking at D2WC in Kansas City. Woot!
From their site:
What is a workflow conference? It’s an opportunity for Web professionals to learn how to use their tools and collaborate with their teams more effectively. It’s two full days of intense real-world information from leading professionals in the business, including many Adobe Evangelists and Adobe Community Professionals.
I’m on the speaking bill with some great professionals that I admire and respect. Adam Flater, Andy Matthews, Andy Powell, Ben Stucki, Scott Janousek and so many others. It’s going to be a fantastic conference. It’s taking place from June 19-20. This two day event is discounted with Early Bird pricing of $175 (ends April 1). Tickets will be $225 after that. A great price for this much information.
I really love these smaller community centered events. They are a great opportunity to connect with regional professionals that share the same interests as you. Perfect!

Random Rotation
PHP Images to Rotator
Random Image Display, Sequential or random rotation. Linked or unlinked images. Linked images can all have the same destination URL or each can specify its own. Opening sub-windows and executing custom function calls onclick are also supported by the code.
Rotate titles or captions with image rotation.
Multiple instances are supported.
Customizable rate of rotation.
Images of varying dimensions can be included in the rotation.
Pause/resume onmouseover/mouseout.
Optional transition filter for Internet Explorer on Windows.[1]
PHP directory listing as source of images.
Image Cross Fader – This version uses unobtrusive DOM scripting and semantic markup to achieve its goals, and is somewhat less abusive of the CPU in Firefox. It also works in Safari – the original version was written prior to Safari supporting the CSS3 "opacity" property. Opera doesn't support opacity, so the images will just flip in that browser.
Create a tabbed content rotator (not sure what to call it really) using everyone’s favorite Javascript framework, jQuery and an interface library called jQuery UI

Today “Web” is very different from what it was few years ago. It is better, but far more challenging – you can no longer ignore things like usability, information architecture and design. That’s why wireframing has received so much attention lately.
Taking good ol' fashioned, page-centric wireframes to new levels has become a hot button pursuit of particular interest to designers and information architects since the boon of 2.0 and all its accompanying buzzwords exploded onto the scene and into the consciousness of companies in 2004. Enter high fidelity wireframing!
What do you do when you aren’t writing classes or managing assets on a timeline in Flash? How do you expand your knowledge or exercise your creativity? For me, if I still feel like tinkering on a computer but not really doing any *real* Flash/HTML/CSS work, I like to find new tools and try them out. Sometimes I produce stuff worth sharing, sometimes it’s just tinkering and playtime.
As a professional, it can sometimes become more about the day to day. The grind. You need to take a step back every once in a while and experiment. Like these guys…
The firebug firefox extension allows you to edit in real time your CSS code. Instead of having to make a change, reload, make a change, reload you can just edit it live to see the results.
From the article: In the past, I found myself spending countless hours tweaking my CSS and making everything work in Internet Explorer just as it would in Firefox. Everything changed when I found Firebug. In this tutorial, I am going to discuss how to use Firebug to make CSS development faster, and share some tips for a consistent look between browsers.
A perfect website is the result of the application of several techniques that come from different fields. The most famous trends in the modern web design are just the perfect combination among rules from design, web usability, user interface design, science behind HTML, CSS and Javascript.
A relatively recent trend is the use of mega drop-down navigation menus. They are simple to build and have a great appeal for the users.
